You can play architecture detective in this gracious 1791 townhouse turned hotel right on St Stephen's Green.
Once a residence for Dublin society figures such as Sir Thomas Leighton MP, then the headquarters of the Ancient and Most Benevolent Order of the Friendly Brothers of St Patrick, it was converted into a boutique hotel in 1997.

stairs (or a lift at the back) ascends to the 10 elegant rooms
